Sex
is what is real, something known directly from experience. The rest is largely a bad dream, projected onto the mind of that 15 year old girl, a dream that won’t be over until we choose to wake up. Potentially, free of constructed and functional constraints, shame, control, contracts, and fears, sex moves us toward relatedness, integration, and safety. The “forced” trend that Ms. Lloyd observes is tacit recognition that the transcendent power of sex is fundamentally blocked by marriage, religion and other expressions of patriarchy.
